David
Luning was studying film scoring at the Berklee College of Music when
he first heard the music of John Prine. As Luning recalls, “A couple of
friends invited me over to share some songs at their apartment, and that
was the first time I'd ever really listened to Americana music or folk
or country or whatever you want to call it. They showed me John Prine,
and it just resonated with me so much. I was like, 'Oh my god, this is
what I have to do with my life.' I just figured it out in that moment."
He subsequently dropped out of school and took to the road as a
troubadour, performing at open mics and eventually opening for Dave and
Phil Alvin, Jackie Greene and other artists.

Says Luning,
“Originally, this song was actually going to be a happy party song…
'Gonna shine my shoes and go out on the town'… But I never finished it
in that vein. A little while later, when I was in a low place, I
revisited this song and rewrote it from the perspective of a man who is
trying to convince himself that he is moving on, though it is clear that
he hasn’t."
